What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses?

This is turning out to be one of the better threads with some humour to defuse things a little.

@thecarpathian, I am afraid I have to strongly disagree with you. I live in rural Ireland and leprechauns are real and Eskimos are cool.

@rodman99999 re bumblebees. I hear you. I mentioned the little buzzers as a simple way of putting across the reliance on science.

An Irish blonde pushes her Ford into a petrol station. She tells the mechanic it died.
After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly.
She says, "What's the story?"
He replies, "Just crap in the carburetor"
She asks, "How often do I have to do that?"

@ cakyol, I think the idea of these threads is to contribute in some meaningful way, which is something you have no intention of doing. OK so you can't hear anything then why bother to comment.

Those trying to explain things with man's limited ability and basic science need to take cognisance of the fact that 'scientists' have proved that it is impossible for the bumblebee to fly! That some things can not be explained, does not mean they don't exist.

@hartf36, do I understand you correctly, you replaced a fuse with some stirling silver tubing? What did you hear?

I replaced fuses and mostly had positive results. My wife and I had some fun changing direction of stock fuses and noticed differences which lead to me trying better ones. When it came to my amp I found SR Blue best, and yes direction mattered (remember the bumblebee) but do not have an Orange to try out but do not think it will better the cheapest yet. Tried a solid copper rod, of unknown purity and this was a big jump up so I bypassed the fuse completely.

To be clear I am running my amp fuseless. The power amp is my DIY and I am comfortable with my build. I DO NOT recommend anybody try this, I mentioned it merely to illustrate the importance of removing a cheaply made device of dissimilar metals allowed to resonate and cause mischief.


Do not tell me I'm delusional, do not have a conniption and do not call the police.
